Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...thanks, Buddy! 

I do apologize for being absent for long periods at a time...there is so much going on in my life...but you guys are always in my thoughts and I think of you often and send 'positive energy'. 

Every time I think we are going to get caught up at work, I end up bringing a bunch of work home and find myself working 'free'...ha!  But, I do it for the teens at work; they are deeply in my heart. 

Then...my last grandmother became ill (92) and she passed easily in her sleep last Thursday morning...She had a full life. 

My son turned 18 on Friday and wants to move out today; ugh, I sure don't want to cut that apron string!    My daughter is still working for the state and going to MTSU, and I'm pretty much alone when I come home now...sure is 'different' ~ I'm so used to being a 'hands-on Mom', now 'poof!' ~ I'm alone. 

I run alot with my friends though (from every aspect of diversity) and still type Randall's weekly case notes and whatever else he needs help with, I still go run with my paranormal friends...(ha!), etc. ~ My life is very full...but it's just not the same with my kids grown...Oh, and I still attract the most 'crazy' men...ugh!  (I think I might write a book on those experiences...ha!)

...I guess I'm just 'wandering' and thinking what do I want to do 'next'??? 

When I want to smile and laugh, I come here...      

You folks have been my 'Pals' through 'thick and thin'...

YAY   Cindy   CONGRATS  

I know what you mean Cindy by having a full plate  my Mom has been really sick for several months now she is 86 and still lives alone  she refuses to live with any of us ..she has conjestive heart failure so we are always running to the ER with her.

Amber is a cheerleader for High School Varsity, football season wasn't so bad but I am beginning to wonder if baskeball season will ever end  it's 2 or 3 games a week like tonight was in Columbia which is an hour away..and then she had homework, weekends is a house full of kids from Friday night til Sunday evening then it's time to start all over again..

My brother is in Iraq he was suppose to be home last month but he hasn't gotten to come in as of yet because of the new push for troops hopefully he will be home soon.

So yep sweetie I feel ya pain..

If your not sure what to do next Cindy, move here to the land of OZ and run for Prime minister, or President over there..  !!!

Im sure you would be a wonderful Madam President.

colleen

Hi Ray..

Yup i live 2 suburbs away in Bentley..   along Albany Highway (if you remember that road).

Yup Cindy is one in a million

Cindy,

you´re enjoying such an popularity, currently. Envialble, waw! Now, honestly, how much if I hired your name for a certain period of time?  I badly need to be put on a pedestal, LOL, LOL...Now forget about that LOL,  so , it was just to say I  enjoy reading that we have someone in the group everybody highly esteems and enjoys communicating with...Flowery? Sure, but this is my pen. And ´m not behind sympathies, should whoever infers,  just my way and the honest one.

I wouldn´t have done this to all folks; only,  being convinced that Cindy oozes a humour with its own touch, and never misconstrue things, never goes on the defense either, unlike one experiences somewhere, wherever, reasonless and finding fault , commenting the hidden way and so on,  certainly not on this website though.

I enjoy the group and am honest about it.

(I hate these clangers towards languages, it should read: "defensive" and not "defense".) I skimmed over and saw this, although it couldn´t be misunderstood...

Life is Life.

My life is busier now than when I was working.

Oh thats right I retired in January.

I dont know what I am going to do next either and everyday someone asks me.  So whats next?

I want to run away.

Any suggestions? 

We need to have a big sense of humour, not only in words, again not only in words, to be able to value and appreciate that someone has a sense of humor, not vain or tetchy, someone that doesn´t blow the whistle on members all the time, and that´s Kenyatta, saying this free from a means to an end,yes free from that stuff --like wanting to be the member of the day LOL, but the like needs to be said at times.

Sure  we think alike in this respect, only, someone says it some time...So, the whole being laid back, gives us all the opportunity to open up and communicate with each other in a relaxed way. Coz by finding fault here and there,we cannot get the best out of someone.

With due respect, frankly I for one never think of finding fault in general, let alone when things exude humour. Humour is food for soul, it comes from the mind via the stomach, as soul is rather abstract certainly tangible though, and without which, humour therefore, soulmates are doomed to bust, sooner or later.

I just LOVE my little Buddies!!!

Margaret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I've MISSED you!!!    I'm so "HAPPY" for you...ENJOY life!  Do not worry about what to do next...Throw your watch away (I never wear one) and just 'live by the moment in whatever you enjoy doing'...   This time in your life is for "YOU" ~

Man, it's snowing like crazy down here! 

Love and Light Cindy!

We empaths never have it easy. Hang in there lovely!

Hi everyone!  Long time no see! I've not been around much in general, not just in this group. 

Been working hard -- after 14 months out of work, I got a good job in downtown Chicago -- been there almost a year now.

Been living with a friend (after some time living w/a relative), trying to save a little money, but the lease is almost up and I've been looking for a new apt (will be a big bump up in cost, once I do). 

Been trying E-Harmony again, although it's been a few months and I haven't connected with anyone yet (sending qtns and answers back and forth, but nowhere near meeting anyone yet).  Having trouble getting motivated about it at all. 

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to all and I'll try to get back into the swing of it with y'all.
